you might want to cover the cd toppers with some sort of wrapping as you dont want the roots getting any light

oh yeah thanks bro that makes sense... if light hits the roots is that bad??
and how long can i leave my plants in these trays before i need a bigger pot??

 

[HolyGhost23]

depends on how big you want your plants you could leave them in there till harvest but i would put some sort of cover over those lcear pots as light can cause root stunting or even damage them wich means tiny arse plants.

hey eddie,lookin good.Are you in the uk and if so where did you get the double light fixtures from?

im gonna wrap duck tape around the cd covers.. and i got 9 feet of head space.. so i want to let my plantts get as big as possible.. maybe 5 feet would be ideal..

 

[Eddie G.]

hey wats up warkrimers, nope im not from the Uk i live in the US. but i bought the light fixures at wal mart. they were like 2 dollars per y splitter..

so do any of you have any suggestions or comments??

 

[warkrimez]

you could get those lights a couple of inches closer and tape your pots like the guys said.Wait till you pots go dry and light before watering and things should be good

 

[warkrimez]

are those pots standing in water?

yea im gonna put the lights a little closer to the plants.. and im gonna tape the cd covers.. when should i get a bigger pot??

 

[Eddie G.]

anybody got any comments or advice??
this is my very first grow so im trying to learn the most i can from all u pros!
i appreciate it fellas!

 

[warkrimez]

ok im no pro but i reckon you have around a couple of weeks before you need to repot.If you want them around 5ft you need to put them into flower when theyre around 20-24 inches high..what size pots are you using to finish your grow in?

yeah im only using these cd cases temporarily, im probably going to put these babys in 16inch pots in about a week.. i also added a little fan to give these ladies a light breeze to toughen up the stems... ill have pics up of my little setup 2morrow. these ladies have been growing very fast! its amazing in a way haha.. so do u have any more comments or suggestions? every piece of advice i get from you fellas is greatly appreciated!

theres not much to say really at this point,dont let the temps stray above 85f,keep those cfls as close as you can to them to prevent stretching,only give them water when the soil is dry and the pot go's light(make sure your drainage is good),keep the fan on them 24/7 and last but not least...DONT give them nutes till they need them,infact you probably wont considering your gunna repot in a week or two.....If all go's well in roughly12-14weeks you should have some cronic to smoke =)

haha yeah man i cant wait.
im gonna put some pics up in a few minutes, its pretty much the same set up just an added little fan. how can i have good drainage to my plants??
wat do u recomend? shud i poke holes at the bottom of my cd covers?? or wat is the best way to do it?

 

[Eddie G.]

ok so now its been about 1 week and 2 days since my babys were put in soil, i had them in rock wool cubes but as soon as they sprouted i put them in the soil.. 2 of the plants are white widow max and 1 is afghan x mazar and one is mystery lol. it was a seed a friend gave to me and he always had some crazy kind of kush so all i know is that its gonna be good hopefully... any of u guys have any suggestions or comments???
